Chapter 488 Delicious stewed fish
Zhang Dongsheng stood in front of the chopping board in the kitchen, chopping potatoes with a somewhat unfamiliar kitchen knife in his hand.
When it comes to this home-cooked dish, cutting potatoes into shreds can be said to be the most difficult test of knife skills. There are many housewives who have been cooking for more than ten years but cannot do it well. Of course, today's Zhang Dongsheng is also one of them.
Although the comparison has been greatly improved compared to before, it is still barely passable at best.
Zhou Ying stood behind Zhang Dongsheng with his hands behind his back, a smile on his face, and a cunning look in his eyes.
"Dongsheng, Dongsheng?"
"Um?"
Zhang Dongsheng responded without turning his head, his eyes remaining on the knife in his hand, not daring to be careless in the slightest.
He knows his level well, and Zhang Dongsheng certainly knows that if he is even slightly negligent, he may cut his finger.
On this festive day of the Chinese New Year, it’s not a good idea to see blood, not to mention... it hurts!
Seeing Zhang Dongsheng's appearance, Zhou Ying behind him couldn't help but pout, and his face showed a bit of sullenness.
"Are you listening? They are talking to you."
"Ah? What?"
"I mean, how about we cook the fish?"
Hearing Zhou Ying's words, Zhang Dongsheng finally put down the kitchen knife in his hand and turned his head in confusion.
"We really want to do it. Didn't we agree that we would have a reunion dinner on New Year's Eve?"
"But didn't I say that when it's New Year's Eve, the fish won't be fresh anymore! You have to eat it sooner or later anyway, so we'll buy fresh ones during the Chinese New Year!"
It's hard to imagine that Zhou Ying, who usually appears dignified and gentle in front of people on TV, would have such a little girl side.
Speaking of which, Zhang Dongsheng really has no resistance to this kind of coquettish and cute look with his mouth pouted.
"Okay, okay, I'll do it, why can't I do it?"
Zhang Dongsheng really had nothing to do with her, but he felt a little worried when he put the newly bought fish on the chopping board.
Speaking of which, although I learned a lot of skills from Aunt Feng during this period, I really didn't learn much about fish.
After all, no matter what era you are in, cooking fish is always a big dish in the family.
Especially this kind of big carp weighing several kilograms, under normal circumstances, no one would do it on weekdays.
The only good news at the moment is that the fish vendor has cleaned up the fish, otherwise this will be a problem for Zhang Dongsheng.
If it were a later generation, he could still take out his mobile phone and go online, search on Baidu, and finally be able to get close to him.
But now I really can only rely on my many years of "experience" to do it!
Put the shredded potatoes on the chopping board aside for the time being, and first cut a green onion into sections.
Put hot oil in the pot, add the green onions to the pot and stir-fry. Although Zhang Dongsheng is not sure whether to fry the green onions when cooking fish.
But in his memory, it seems that no matter what dish he cooks, onions are needed, and fish should be no exception.
When the oil heats up, put the fish in the pan and fry it first. Although the temperature seems a bit high and the fish is a little burnt, at least it smells fragrant and seems pretty good.
Zhang Dongsheng smelled this smell, and he felt somewhat confident. He turned the fish over on both sides, and then saw that both sides were burnt...
Okay, don’t worry about those details. Somewhat worried that the fish would be completely inedible, Zhang Dongsheng simply started a new cooker.
I simply stir-fried some bean sprouts and shredded dried tofu, then added water to the fish pot and stewed it in one pot.
When he first started cooking fish, Zhang Dongsheng still had a smile on his face and looked very confident, but now Zhang Dongsheng's face is full of helplessness.
God knows how he finished this dish, but he had no confidence at all.
While Zhang Dongsheng was cooking, Zhou Ying kept watching with a happy smile on his face, without the slightest hint of impatience.
Although Zhang Dongsheng himself felt that the cooking of this dish was really difficult.
"Hmm, it tastes very good!"
Looking at Zhou Ying's somewhat exaggerated movements in front of him, Zhang Dongsheng felt happy for some reason! After eating this dish, he actually felt good.
As mentioned before, if the salinity is well controlled, as long as it is not particularly bad, it will still be edible.
It may also be because of the atmosphere that the two of them were extremely happy to eat. When it got dark, the big carp, plus a lot of bean sprouts, dried tofu and so on, were eaten completely by the two of them.
In fact, the delicious thing is not necessarily the fish, but more the feeling of just the two of us.
"belch!"
Falling on the chair, Zhou Ying couldn't help but burped, and then lowered his head shyly. His actions just now were really indecent.
Looking up and seeing Zhang Dongsheng's half-smiling look, Zhou Ying couldn't help but roll his eyes at her.
"Why are you laughing? I've never seen a beautiful woman!"
Speaking of which, this kind of atmosphere is really a bit like that of a newlywed couple. They are natural and harmonious, as if they are really a family.
After finishing the meal, although Zhang Dongsheng was exhausted, he still struggled to get up and go to the kitchen to wash the dishes.
Of course, if you leave this thing there, it will be the same if you wash it tomorrow.
It's just that Zhang Dongsheng knows himself too well. If he's too lazy to wash himself today, he might postpone it to the day after tomorrow, so it's better to finish things today.
While Zhang Dongsheng was washing the dishes, Zhou Ying had already laid out the bedding.
It's just that compared to the distance between the two quilts yesterday, today they are close to each other. Maybe even Zhou Ying himself didn't notice this detail, but they were laid out like this naturally.
After watching a TV series that Zhang Dongsheng couldn't name and had no impression of, even after watching it, he couldn't remember what it was about.
The two of them played games together for a while, and then it was just after nine o'clock, and finally it was bedtime for Zhang Dongsheng, who was a little looking forward to it and a little excited.
After changing into his pajamas and getting into his bed, Zhang Dongsheng was nervous and full of expectations at the same time. His unsatisfied little heart had already begun to beat fast.
On the other side, Zhou Ying also got into his bed.
Then she ran away from her bed to Zhang Dongsheng for some unknown reason.
Stretching out her hands and gently hugging Zhang Dongsheng's waist, Zhou Ying buried her somewhat hot face in his chest.
Perhaps because of the pressure, his tone was a little unclear.
"I'm telling you, don't move around! It's just...it's just too cold. Only two people can stay warm if they sleep together."
Feeling the stiffness of Zhang Dongsheng's body, why wasn't Zhou Ying extremely nervous?
"Don't move, don't move! Just sleep and don't think wildly."
If Zhang Dongsheng had some thoughts in his mind before, but holding this girl in his arms, he could still feel the touch despite being separated by two layers of pajamas.
